"Sir, as per your request, we have made a detailed survey of the terrain of the entire Longdong Prefecture. All the scouts are already familiar with this area. In addition, we are also familiar with the neighboring Xikang Prefecture and Lulong Prefecture of Beiyuan County. "The voice inside the house dropped so low that only the three of them could hear it.
"Well," Wu Feng responded softly. He didn't say anything for a long time, and it took a long time before he breathed out. "Get more familiar with the terrain of the neighboring prefectures in Longdong. I will arrange the intelligence department to cooperate with you in the rest." Wu Feng's voice also said. Down.
"I won't hide it from you, the current situation is complicated, especially the two counties in the north of the empire and the Guanxi County in the west. It is no exaggeration to say that they are in danger. And now the Kaman people are also taking advantage of the situation. They have already captured Jiayuguan, and Taixuan Mansion is also in danger. , the war is raging in the Principality of Jerok, and the Kingdom of Poole and the Empire of Sislo are also behind the scenes. Our situation is not good. The Kaman people control Jiayuguan is a huge threat to us, making it difficult for us to deal with it. Ah." Wu Feng said slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Then what are you going to do, sir? Now Lord Ling has led the main force to Guide Mansion and is advancing north. It seems that he is going to have a head-on battle with the Kaman people." Speaking of fighting, Shenei and Yueshan The people's eyes shone, but what Wu Feng said also made them feel the seriousness of the situation.
"Well, it's too early to tell whether the Kaman people want to fight this war with us. It's still unclear whether the Taixuan Mansion is a burden or fat to us." Wu Feng shook his head. There was an unpredictable light in his eyes.
After beckoning Yang Zhengbin and the director of Bonan Prefecture's War Readiness Department to come over, Wu Feng spoke again: "Zhengbin, how is your house's war preparations going?"
"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 35,000 reserve sergeants in Bonan Mansion. Basic military training is conducted every three months during normal times, and every month during the off-season. In addition, our war readiness material warehouse has enough Weapons and a certain amount of food, but due to limited finances, there are less than 200 war horses." Seeing that Wu Feng asked the heads of other administrative departments to leave, leaving only the director of combat readiness, Yang Zhengbin knew that Wu Feng must Ask questions about this.
"Well, how is your training going?" Wu Feng asked again, looking at the director of combat readiness who came with him.
"Sir, our reserve sergeants train for three days each time. In addition to basic formation, marching and camping, and weapon use training, we also conduct some physical fitness training." The director of combat readiness replied quickly.
"Compared to your security division, how high is their combat effectiveness?" Wu Feng didn't stop there and asked, his eyes scanning the faces of several people.
This sentence immediately made several people look at each other in confusion. How could the combat effectiveness of the reservists be compared with that of regular soldiers in the guard force? Wu Feng's words really made it difficult for them to answer for a while.
After coughing dryly, the room broke the silence, "Sir, the reservists here are far the same as those in other places. We can only say that they have undergone some basic military training. You said that they have to be compared with the combat effectiveness of our guard division. I’m afraid it’s not easy to compare.”
Wu Feng remained silent. He also knew that the question he just asked was a bit abrupt. How could he ask reserve soldiers to compare with regular soldiers? He also subconsciously felt that the power he had in his hands seemed a bit too weak now. Not to mention using troops externally, it seemed a little powerless to deal with the threat of the Kaman people in Taixuan. Fortunately, he decided to let Song Tianxiong go back to form The Guards Division, at least in the past half year, has become much stronger. Wu Feng even regretted why he suggested Song Tianxiong to form three regiments first. He hoped that Song Tianxiong could expand it into a complete division on his own initiative.
After sinking for a long time, Wu Feng finally spoke up: "From now on, you will immediately screen the existing reservists, select 10,000 people first, and conduct intensive training. The intensity of the training will be carried out in accordance with the standards of the garrison division. "Wufeng stared at the director of combat readiness.
The director of combat readiness immediately turned his attention to the city guard standing aside. Although Yang Zhengbin had some thoughts, he knew that Wu Feng must have felt something, and his tone was categorical, obviously leaving no room for negotiation, so he nodded in agreement.
"Zhengbin, in terms of funding, you should first follow the standards of the garrison force. I know you are not well-off here, but these are extraordinary times, so let’s not talk about anything else. In addition, Shenei and Yueshan, you two, go back and discuss how to draw out some basic strength from your division. Come, let them take up positions among these 10,000 people, and form them according to the organizational system of two regiments. The appointment of the regiment captains is temporarily undecided, you can appoint people to act as agents, and you can make other arrangements by yourself."
Wu Feng said carefully. He had been thinking about the nature of the 10,000-person force he asked them to form. It should be considered a guard force. I have never heard of only two regiments being formed. It should be considered a reserve force. It is also classified as a guard force. As for the implementation of the standards, they had to be vague and vague. As for the appointment of candidates above the captain, they must be reviewed by their own military staff and reviewed by the internal affairs department before they can be approved by themselves, and they must follow it.
"My lord, what are the names of these two regiments?" Shenei asked in confusion.
"Well, this, let's consider it a reinforced unit assigned to your Bonan Guard Division." Wu Feng scratched his head.
Strengthen the alliance? I haven't heard that the garrison division will also be equipped with a reinforced unit. Our Lord is really ingenious. She Nei and Yue Shan looked at each other and stopped talking.
After Kamapov received the urgent order from Ling Tianfang and read it, he quickly ordered the troops to postpone their advance. It was only a few hours away to enter Taixuanfu City, but Fielding, the guardian of Taixuanfu City, had already warmly invited and sent Logistics personnel came to deliver a large amount of supplies, and also sent a special person to guide his division, but Lord Ling's order told him to station on the spot and not to enter the city, waiting for orders. This puzzled Bai Si, and the military situation was like a fire. Master Ling should know that the Kaman people's westward advancing army is not far from Taixuanfu City.
However, the people in Taixuanfu City did not know the inside story of these high-level officials. They only knew that Jiayuguan in the north had fallen. This was a bolt from the blue to the people who had lived here for generations. They had never imagined that it would be like an iron wall. It was simply unacceptable for them that the Jiayuguan Pass would also fall. However, the reality was already here, and the alien army that was about to go south made them sleepless at night. The wealthy families packed their bags and started to leave Taixuanfu City. After all, even If Jiayuguan can be breached, what does this Taixuan Palace mean
But for people who have lived here for generations and already have certain industries, it is easy to say leaving, but it is so painful and difficult to actually implement it! What to do with the house? What to do with the land? What about shops? How to live after leaving here? Hesitant, helpless, desolate and confused, this mood probably reflects the mood of all the residents in Taixuanfu City. However, all of this suddenly became brighter because of the help from the Northwest Legion.
"Master Li has sent troops!"
"I heard that Lord Li will personally lead an army of 200,000 people to fight the Kaman people. Now Lord Li is on the way."
"I heard that three of Master Li's four kings will lead them to Taixuan, preparing to wipe out the Kaman people in one fell swoop."
Various gossips spread quickly in the streets and alleys of Taixuanfu City. People rushed to tell each other. The anxious people immediately calmed down. With Li Wufeng, the undefeated military god, here, if the Kaman people dare to Intruders are allowed to come and go. All of this was completely different from the gloomy and gloomy situation a few days ago when we learned that Jiayuguan was lost. People in teahouses, restaurants, and streets were talking about the fact that Mr. Li would send troops to defend Taixuanfu City to the death and resolutely eliminate the coming ones. Offend the enemy.
All these circumstances converged on Wu Feng, who had just arrived at Guide Mansion to join Ling Tianfang, leaving Wu Feng speechless for a long time. After receiving the information handed over by Wu Feng, Ling Tianfang, who had a relatively relaxed expression at first, became increasingly uglier as he looked at it. Later, he even frowned deeply. It was not until he finished reading that Ling Tianfang let out a long sigh and said: " This Fielding's brain is really not that easy to use, he actually did this to us, forcing us into a trap and unable to escape."
"Well, this move is really powerful. If we still stand still, once Taixuan Palace is lost, not only will the empire hold us accountable, but we will also lose the hearts and minds of the people of Taixuan Palace, and even affect our influence in the entire northwest. people's support." Li Wufeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Sir, we can't be kind to women now. You see, the Kaman army is waiting for us to garrison in Taixuan. Once we garrison, they will definitely attack the border with a large number of troops, forcing us to send heavy troops to compete with them. , but we only have so much power, and we are all dragged here. The Taiping Sect’s uprising in the western border of the Empire’s Central Plains is about to happen. How should we deal with it? In this way, we will lose an excellent opportunity to step into the Central Plains." Ling Tian Fang was a little excited, and he could see that Wu Feng was a little moved.
"But we ignored them. How should the central government of the empire explain it, and how should the people of Taixuan Mansion explain it? The fourth division has already arrived at Taixuan City and yet it retreated. It's hard to convince the crowd!" Wu Feng's voice was a little dull.
"The center of the empire? Well, let's see if it can survive the Taiping Rebellion. By then, I think the empire will be torn apart. As for the common people, it won't be easy. Let's just say that the Gaoyue people mutinied again. Anyway, There are also some Gao Yue people in the Fourth Division, let's let them play back." A cold look flashed across Ling Tian's black face, and a pair of black diamond-like eyes danced with a faint light under the light, " The winner is a prince, the loser is a thief. As long as you succeed, who will care whether you have adopted any despicable means. If you fail, who will remember whether you are noble or not?"
The tallow candle in the big tent flickered on and off, and the jumping fire seemed to symbolize Wu Feng's unpredictable mood at this time. This was really a difficult choice, and this choice would determine his future strategic deployment. It's like a double-edged sword. If it's not handled well, no matter which party it is, it can cut itself all over. But now it seems that there is no better solution.
